I have published three books and have 45 papers in peer reviewed journals to date.

My first book “Patient pictures – Ophthalmology” was published in 2000 and provides clear and lucid explanations of various eye procedures and conditions to patients. It has been updated and is now available as an on-line version free of charge. 

I was co-author with a previous trainee, Anthony Pane, on a second publication “Practical Ophthalmology – a survival guide” which was published in 2005 (and has subsequently been translated into several languages).  The publishers requested we update it in 2013 with a second edition that has been called “Eye essentials for every doctor”. 

My third book also co-authored with Anthony Pane “Fast facts – Ophthalmology” was published in 2006 and aimed at GP’s. This was updated in 2015 with a second edition as first author and Andre Burger as co-author.  

I have published extensively in peer reviewed journal and have given numerous lectures both locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.

I have been the principle investigator in Exeter for a high quality UK multi centre “portfolio” study called the MERLOT study looking at a irradiation treatment for wet macular degeneration.
